When Your Art Program’s Closing Message Hits You Straight In The Heart And Makes You Stop And Contemplate

Wei Wuxian: *after climbing out of the Burial Mounds like an angry goblin* The Wen remnants will no longer hide in the shadows, and you will give into our demands!

Jin Zixuan, now in charge after he and Meng Yao got together and decided dear old daddy was better off dead: Sure. Watcha want, fam?

Every other cultivator in attendance: *worried murmuring, absolutely sure he’ll open his mouth like a cat from hell and eat them all, or something equally stupid*

Wei Wuxian: We demand; equal rights, equal freedoms to roam around and cause as much bullshit as any other cultivator or citizen, and the blood of your firstborn children!

Wen Qing: *shoves him in the side* What? Why blood?

Wei Wuxian: So we have something to give up in the negotiations and make them think they have the upper hand.

2YO Jin Ling: *has been, till now, playing with Wei Yuan on the ground, looks up at his new uncle he’s heard so much about with big eyes* Da-JiuJiu? Da-JiuJiu, I got an owie while playing earlier, is this enough blood? *points to his scraped knee*

Wei Wuxian: *big tears in his eyes* The offer... is accepted...

It hurt, but I don’t regret it.

There was a tweet about Jingyi possibly being Jin Rusong, and this popped in my mind 🤣

LJY: What?! I’m your son? I’m Jin Rusong?!

JGY: Yes…Please und-

LJY: Is that why I’m short?!

JL: THAT’S YOUR BIG TAKE AWAY FROM THIS?!

LJY: SHUT UP! You don’t know what it’s like down here.

JL: You’re only 4 cm shorter!

LJY: 4 cm too short to reach the top of the shelf! This whole time I thought it was the bland food, but it turns out I came from midgets!

JGY: …

WWX: *Burst out laughing like a maniac*

JL: HOW ARE WE RELATED?

LJY: HOLY SHIT WE’RE RELATED?! No wonder I hate you!

JL: *In tears* Shut up! I hate you too!

LSZ: Guys, let’s calm down.

QS:…You know, I’m not so disgusted about the incest thing suddenly. But I want a divorce, and we’ll keep it a secret.

JGY: Unless you tell me who sent you the letter.

QS: No.

JGY: I need to know so that I can find out who else knows, and kill them so we won’t be slandered by the Cultivation World. Besides, who ever decided to tell you this now after all this time must be doing it for money.

QS:…It was Bicao. 

JGY: Thank you. Now excuse me future ex-wife. I’m going to go interrogate a maid.

*And thus Nie Huaisang gets found out, and it’s a whole different complicated mess where LXC is the one most shafted by it. In the mean time, Qin Su is happily living at Gusu to get to know her son.*

SOME FLOOF 

me to my cat: please have lazarus syndrome please have lazarus syndrome please have lazarus syndrome please have lazarus syndrome please—

tricky words I always see misspelled in fics: a guide

Viscous/vicious – Viscous is generally used to describe the consistency of blood or other thick liquids. Vicious is used to describe something or someone who is violent. 

Piqued/Peaked/Peeked – To pique someone’s interest is to catch or tease their attention. When something peaks, it reaches its total height or intensity. To peek (at) something is to look briefly, or glance. 

Discrete/Discreet – this is a tough one. Discrete means to be separate, or distinct, i.e., two discrete theories. Conversely, when someone is discreet, they are being secretive or cautious to avoid attention. 

Segue/Segway – one is a transition between things, the other is a thing you can ride at the park and definitely fall off of.

Conscious/Conscience/Conscientious – to be conscious is to be awake, i.e., not unconscious, or to be aware of something. Your conscience is the little voice in your head telling you not to eat the entire pint of ice cream. Finally, to be conscientious is to be good, to do things thoroughly, to be ruled by an inner moral code. 

Hope this helped! Please add more if you think of them!
